Hey all, this is for those who had a defect with their first Nexus 4, and had to call Play Support and request a new one.
When you call in, you place the order while on the phone, they e-mail you while on the phone. How many days between that and actually receiving a notice that Google is shipping it out?
I placed a replacement order 4 days ago and have heard nothing since..
Just curious, and also might help others that are curious, thanks!
Considering that 4 days ago was a weekend, and they won't ship anything on weekends + 2-3 Business days to process your order, you will probably get shipping details on the 6th or 7th (could be tomorrow.)
And I don't think the DC knows whether your order was for a replacement or not since you had to order the replacement from the play store, so it might get shuffled behind those that have place orders ahead of you.
I was going to process a replacement (RMA/Shipping Label email is sitting unread in my Inbox); but decided to wait to see if others are experiencing the problem first. To find out its a mass issue or just related to my device.
I placed an order for an RMA unit Thursday night after calling Google and having the RMA link emailed to me. I received an email the following morning with a notice that the replacement phone had shipped and a tracking number was provided. The UPS tracking page just displayed a yellow box that says "A UPS shipping label has been created. Once the shipment arrives at our facility, the tracking status--including the scheduled delivery date--will be updated."
I just checked again and the yellow box with the above message is still there. I'm thinking that the tracking number should have updated information by Friday. Ideally, I'd like to have the new phone by then but at this rate I'll just be happy to have it by this time next week.
I ordered the replacement and received it 5 days later. Unluckily, I got a defected replacement and I have to called CSR again. Ordered 2nd replacement on Dec 2 and still waiting for taking number.
What email did you guys first get? The RMA email?
I placed one today and have only gotten an RMA email, nothing about a new phone being shipped...
They state it will be here 3-5 days, I leave the country saturday so I may be out of luck..

Unfortunately, I'm already expecting the RMA unit to be defective as well. The more I read the more it appears these phones all seem to have at least 1 thing wrong with them.

Yeah, I'd be amazed if you receive the phone by Friday. I ordered my RMA unit last Thursday and don't even expect to receive it till next week.

Oh well, I may have to keep both and sell the extra when I get back then.
I'm sure the speaker noise will be there in the replacement...
So where do they pull these replacement orders from? Do they have a stash of Nexus 4's solely just for replacements separate from the regular orders?
And what's the guarantee the replacement unit won't be of the same "batch" and have the same issues?
Just curious because my earpiece is buzzing and I'm not sure if I should bother exchanging or not... You also lose out on the screen protector and have to get a new one.

If you decide to keep both, will they add shipping and tax to the AUTH charge? Because if not, isn't this a sneaky way of getting a 2nd Nexus 4 for cheaper? Or likewise, a Nexus 4 way earlier than folks ordering normally?
Got mine in 5 days after ordering a replacement

Called on the 28th got confirmation on same day with all the links got shipping notification on the 30th, received it Tuesday the 4th very positive expirence.
also i sent a support thingy via the website didn't hear anything for 24hours so i just called and got everything instantly. so yeah if you need to RMA and want it fast just call and do it on the phone with the rep
called the night of 29th for RMA, got confirmation e-mail right away, but nothing since then....called google on 3rd and 4th dec, apparently it's still being processed...go figure. Not too happy right now.

We are in the same boat.
Ordered the night of 28th, got RMA and order confirmation email. No shipping email yet. I would like to receive the replacement asap since I have to return the device in 21 days. On the other hand, there is a chance that the replacement might be from a newer batch so I don't mind waiting.

Yes, they have a seperate stock for RMA's only. Which explains why they can be sent out right away.
There is no gaurantee that these replacements didn't come from the same batch at the defective units. In fact, more than likely they are the same batch. I remember when I RMA'd my Galaxy Nexus last year the rep told me that the RMA units are hand inspected to ensure there are no defects, which I believed at the time. But after all this N4 shipping craziness and lies I don't believe a word any of those people tell me.
As far as I'm aware they will only charge the "auth" amount in full if you fail to return the device. So for me the $349 charge will hit my card and I COULD turn around and sell the other phone if I wanted. However, I'm just going to send it back.

Yeah, this makes me nervous as well. I ordered on the 29th and received my tracking number on the 30th. However, the tracking status is still just the yellow box saying a shipping label has been created as of 12/5. I'm afraid that I won't get the phone until I have like 1 day to return the defective unit within the 21 day period.
Time will tell I suppose.
Another person on the same boat. Called on the 28th forgot to click the link to reordered till the 1st. Still haven't receive any tracking info.
Ordered replacement on 28th and got a shipping notice just after midnight of the 30th. No movement on the tracking number even though I got a useless My Choice notification that it was going to be delivered yesterday. Nothing arrived . Awaiting a reply from my CSR.

Keep me posted. Looks like myself and others are in the same situation. Just about the same dates and everything.
Here's my complete experience with my first RMA...
I called them a few days after i received my N4 (i was a first batch buyer) and noticed on the back i had a crack and scratches, despite still having the back film on there, so i took the film off thinking that was scratched but it wasn't, it was the phone out of the box so i called Google on Wednesday before Thanksgiving, they couldn't match my imei so they sent it to a "higher up" and then i called again Monday because i had heard nothing and the CSR said the RMA was ready and i started the process on Monday afternoon! I got a shipping confirmation the next day at about 6 pm Tuesday, i clicked the tracking number and to my surprise, my phone was already in my state ready for delivery! I received the phone at about 7 pm Wednesday! Now my replacement had no scratches or anything, however, it had the fu**in deafening screeching sound when in a call so i called again this past Sunday and got another RMA set up...but this time i haven't gotten a shipping email yet, just a "ship within a week" notice! I don't mind it since i already have the device, but here's hoping it doesn't have the sound! If it does, ill milk the RMA until i get a device without that sound! Its unbearable! Anyways, that's my story!

Hey Guys, This is gonna be a bit off topic, but don't take it wrong.. i am thinking about ordering this phone from germany (my friend does live here so he will order it then he will send it to me to slovakia),, but as i see this,, it's really not worth of it as i see dozens of problems with this phone,
So my question, IS it worth to get this phone with that so many problems?
11/29 - RMA order placed
11/30 - Confirmation email with UPS tracking number received. Email says that the phone will be delivered within 3-5 business days
11/30 - UPS Tracking page says, "A UPS shipping label has been created. Once the shipment arrives at our facility, the tracking status--including the scheduled delivery date--will be updated."
12/5 - UPS tracking page still says the above with no additional tracking info
Today is the 4th business day since receiving the email with the tracking number so I figure that there should definitely be at least an origin scan on the UPS tracking page by now. Since there does not appear to be an update to the tracking progress I decided to make some calls and see if anyone could shed light on where my RMA unit is. I called UPS first. They told me that the label has been printed but the seller (Google) still hasn't given them the phone to ship out. This was precisely what I figured the case was because Google has just been so fantastic about shipping these N4's out.
Then I decided to call Google for some sort of an explanation (optimistic, I know). I talked to a CSR who gave me the same BS others have been getting who also have the tracking number with no tracking updates. He said this situation is "very strange and rare" then said he would forwarded my issue to a "shipping specialist" (yeah right) and told me he would email me back within the next 2 days (again, yeah right).
So here I am with absolutely no idea where my replacement phone is. I suppose I could be worse off though since I already have an N4 in my possession. But now I just want one that isn't defective out of the box.
Talk about getting screwed. I called in to get a replacement for my device two weeks ago and now I got one more weeks left to return this phone, but Google still have not shipped their device yet. I've contacted Google support like 3 times already, but no luck getting any info. They would send me a general email saying something like it would be shipped out in a timely manner and sometimes they would refer to my nexus 4 as the nexus 10 or the nexus 7. These people don't even read the emails they send out. Should I just send in my device to avoid the 21 days penalty? I'll be without a phone for until they shipped.
Try to contact them and explain your issue. If their shipping is delayed is not your fault so no penalty should be applied. Ask them!

I just had my order status for my RMA changed to pre-ordered, so I called Google Play support. It turns out the RMA's are now affected by back orders as well. So I explicitly asked the CSR about the 21 day window, he assured me that Google will not charge me if the replacement device has not shipped. He said if I am actually charged, not just a pending AUTH (which has already cleared) to just call up. He said he's never heard of it happening, they've been told by their supervisors that it won't happen, but IF it does happen they are to refund that charge.
I just contacted Google again. They said i will still be charged for the device if I don't return it within the 21 days even though they don't have a device to send out. This will be my last time I order from Google.
File a BBB report, notify your bank of the situation and give them your BBB complaint case number. Request that your bank decline further transactions from GOOGLE *Devices until further notice.

Maybe the OP's phone still works better than no phone at all. Mine is deadlined, but the digitizer still works where I need it to for answering calls, and I can't go without until they decide to ship me a replacement phone.
Man I am sorry about your luck. I called Google for an RMA last night and my replacement was shipped this morning and the UPS tracking shows I will have it COB on Friday. I was actually surprised that it was shipped so quickly, as I thought there would be a delay because of the lack of stock units. I hope that you get this addressed with Google, there has to be some glitch on what is going on with your RMA.

Jesus, this is the same **** the pulled with ordering the phone in the first place. I ordered my phone within the first minute, didn't get it for over a week, people ordering it 6 hours later got it in two days. I RMA a week ago, now it's preordered, you RMA last night and it ships today. Dufuq Google, this is some bull ****. Not to mention the OP now being told 'll be charged for the current device before the replacement ships.
Happy for you though.

I agree that it is bull. I don't know if it was the CSR that I talked to or what, but I just got confirmation that my replacement was delivered at my house (1 day earlier). I suggest that you continue to call them to see what is going on.
I had my RMA overnighted on 12/11
device not yet received
this is what tracking says
A UPS shipping label has been created. Once the shipment arrives at our facility, the tracking status--including the scheduled delivery date--will be updated.

I already called like 6 times and talk to 6 different people. They elk don't seem to care. I just don't know what else I can do.
This is what I just got.
Thank you for contacting us.
You have 21 days to return the original device not 21 days to*receive* the device. You can return the device if you have the RMA and shipping label. As for a replacement device, unfortunately they are on backorder and will not be shipped for 3-5 weeks. I apologize for the*inconvenience*and appreciate your patience.
If you have any other questions please feel free to reply back to this email.
I was assured they had separate stock for RMA, probably get a better service from someone that speaks a different language to me.

Someone had mentioned in another thread that they heard there were multiple people on this forum with the same issue as me. I tried the search function but wasn't able to figure out who else had this happen =/. I've seen the same thing happen during the Nexus 7 launch.
Basically I ordered two 16gb devices during the second order date, but when I received it I noticed they were both only 8gb . The IMEI # on my receipt (indicating 16gb) matches that on the box (indicating 8gb). I powered on one of them and I confirmed it was indeed it was 8gb. I contacted google, who basically said I will need to wait 6 weeks if I want the 16gb...
If this happened to you, how was it resolved? What else can I do in my situation?
But what did google say to the issue of ordering the 16 and getting an 8 instead? Telling you that if you want a 16 you'll have to wait 6 weeks does not address your issue. Did they refund you and or charge you for an 8 instead? Did they say they would send you an 8 instead of what you ordered?
If not, I would demand they send you what you ordered. Especially if they pulled a switch onu with authorization.
I don't see why u have to wait 6 weeks for their f.... Up mistake. They have tons stock for defect replacement call them and demand it

Well of course they apologized for the error, which doesn't exactly solve anything -__-. At first I was told I would need to ship both phones back and they will process the refunds and then I can go through the reorder process again. I claimed that it was unreasonable I have to go to the end of the line and wouldn't have a phone to use. So they said I can keep using it for now.
I was sent a shipping label and told, "I was told that the estimated return time is up to 6 weeks. Please let me know if you would like to keep the device--return the device for the correct device----or--get a refund." What's the best option for me? I wonder if they will send me the devices first, because I'm afraid if I ship it back they might end up issuing me a refund and no device... or make me wait 6 weeks!

ask them if you can keep devices until they send the 16gb ones.
This is the second thread I've seen where this happened, as usual google customer service is useless.
First, make sure the serial numbers on the receipt match the devices. If they do, call up, say you have rattling and speaker buzz in both units (and you probably do!!).
Request an RMA for both devices. They have stock set aside just for defects/RMAs.
Once you receive the replacements, make sure both are 16GBs then ship then back.
Google shouldn't make you wait 6+ weeks for their fvck up when they have replacement stock sitting right there!

I just called Google and requested an RMA because of a faulty mic. If you are with in your 15 day return period, you can do this.
They said I would get my replacement with in 3-5 days, and they emailed me a return label before I hung up. Told me to send back my phone once I get the replacement. Once I get the replacement, I have 21 days to send them back the bad one.

You might be waiting a while a very good friend of mine dirtyhamster has been waiting for 2 weeks and still doesn't have it. She was recently told all Rma's are on bo. But then just yesterday another pre-auth hit her card so maybe they got more RMA stock. Good lunch and I hope u get it sooner than later. BTW there is a RMA thread where u can probably get better info than with me.

Hi , I noticed now that Huawei is concerned about the bootloop of death , and slowly taking action by allowing some of us to send in our phone and getting it repaired/Replace via " Them " emailing us the UPS RMA Label. I have read in multiple thread regarding the RMA not being emailed on a timely manner or you have not received the email at all. Lets just make this thread specific to UPS RMA STATUS for repaired/replaced 6P and how long the process it took to get the replacement phone.. We need to see if they will follow through. This page , we should log in how many people who were given the RMA email and is waiting to have their phone repaired/replaced. Just put your info of what status you are now in , given from the first day that they authorized saying the UPS RMA email will be sent.
I will start with mine.
Agent: a guy name Alexis
04/20/17 : Were told that I will get the UPS RMA Label within 48 hours
04/26/17 : RMA Label not received so I called and waited 1:15:00 minutes before i got connected to a live person , and got disconnected. Called back again and waited 45 minutes before I was talking to a live person. The same person who i dealt with on 04/20/17 assured me that I will receive the LABEL in a few days
04/28/17 : UPS RMA Label has not been received still. I will wait till Monday to call them back again.
05/03/17 : Got in contact with support via chat late evening.
05/04/17 RMA Label received
Gee I wonder who it took to get it noticed there just trying to keep their name from getting tainted but there customer service sucks from what I've read all the issues people have had from phone's going crazy with no explanation and no rma

I contacted Huawei 4-24-17 after checking the status of the Nexus 6p manufacture warranty. Phone unusable due to the BLOD. Called Huawei customer support and finally got connected after waiting for a collective time of about 2 1/2 hours throughout the day. The agent said my warranty was good until 5-1-17 so I would be mailed or emailed the RMA instructions with label. Still waiting for something to show up. People smoking bath salts are more efficient and less sketchy than Huawei.
I have contacted them 8 times. I'm convinced they are playing a game and trying to get me to just forget about it. I've been lied to 8 times about receiving a label. I'm just going to keep chatting away with them. Last night I got the same guy I had the previous night. I copied pasted the chat transcript and said 'Here this is what you said last night'. Of course, I am now supposed to receive the label today. Again. I would ask them for the address and tell them I will just pay to ship it myself. But I'm sure they would just deny ever receiving it.
---------- Post added at 11:23 AM ---------- Previous post was at 11:02 AM ----------
I should add that they did send me one email that was supposed to be a label, but it was blank. This was probably on purpose and meant to tide me over for a while. I will play their game for as long as they want. This is BS.

You guys think your story is bad you have no idea lol....On Monday when I type up my story for chimicles I will post here as well. They are stringing you along on purpose. They are 100% TRYING to drag there feet.
Just a quick update on my journey:
Decided to get a hold of Huawei via chat support this time, one week to the day from my original RMA ticket. I spoke to a gentleman who seemed competent and eager to serve the customer so he looked into my ticket and said they were waiting for the pics of the phone to be sent. Knowing that would come but never officially receiving the RMA process email, he resent me the email with full instructions included and offered to wait for me to send a reply email to confirm my address and also make sure it would be escalated. He did, I got the email with FULL instructions, not just what to do with erasing data and sending accessories, etc. He then "GUARANTEED" me that I would receive the shipping label within 24 hours and apologized profusely. Well, this morning was day 2 and still nothing. I again decided to use chat because I like being able to send the transcript of the conversation to my email for proof. This lady was also extremely competent and tenacious. She took about 15 minutes to get a hold of the department which issues the RMA labels and finally got it sent to me. The phone has been shipped via UPS finally. Just letting others know what to expect through this debacle.
How do you guys buy your phone maybe that's the issue I bought mine from Google's website.

How do you " Chat " with them ? Is it an app on the phone or on the computer ? It's been two weeks for me now and no LABEL.
I contacted Huawei as well its going on 50 hours and no RMA Label by email. I've contacted them twice now once via phone call for the original claim and via chat today. Still waiting to be sent a shipping label.........
Day 1: Reported my RMA Day 2: No label so I had to call back and ensure they had my email address right (which they didn't) in order to get my shipping label. Sent the phone out the same day and received an email that they got it 2 days later. Week 2: I'm on a trip to New York for a week. Week 3: I get back from my trip and still no phone so I called Huawei to get an update. The Rep says there are no technician notes on the repair of my phone. WTF to that.... After multiple calls over the course of the fourth week, the last rep I talked to said I should have an update next week. This past Monday I got a UPS noticed saying my phone would arrive the next morning, which it finally did.
FAIR WARNING: Be prepared to wait a long time. I had to wait 4 weeks to get my device back.......4 WEEKS when I was told it would take 2 weeks and got talked around in circle until I yelled at the last rep I talked to and he escalated my issue. I would suggest getting a temp phone to use while you wait. (I got a Moto G4 Play from Best Buy to use with my T-Mobile SIM). I just got my phone back yesterday and to my surprise its a new (or looks like new) 128GB model (previously had a 64GB model). So I guess that makes it worth the wait? Maybe?
Shipping label
It took me over a week to get the shipping label after making several calls, being on hold for 30 min or more, I just think they are playing games with us. This process is a joke. I already sent my phone in to get repaired for them to only ship it back to me the very next day thrown in a half empty UPS box un repaired with no reason as to why it was not repaired.

Hi , I noticed now that Huawei is concerned about the bootloop of death , and slowly taking action by allowing some of us to send in our phone and getting it repaired/Replace via " Them " emailing us the UPS RMA Label. I have read in multiple thread regarding the RMA not being emailed on a timely manner or you have not received the email at all. Lets just make this thread specific to UPS RMA STATUS for repaired/replaced 6P and how long the process it took to get the replacement phone.. We need to see if they will follow through. This page , we should log in how many people who were given the RMA email and is waiting to have their phone repaired/replaced. Just put your info of what status you are now in , given from the first day that they authorized saying the UPS RMA email will be sent.
I will start with mine.
Agent: a guy name Alexis
04/20/17 : Were told that I will get the UPS RMA Label within 48 hours
04/26/17 : RMA Label not received so I called and waited 1:15:00 minutes before i got connected to a live person , and got disconnected. Called back again and waited 45 minutes before I was talking to a live person. The same person who i dealt with on 04/20/17 assured me that I will receive the LABEL in a few days
04/28/17 : UPS RMA Label has not been received still. I will wait till Monday to call them back again.

How do you " Chat " with them ? Is it an app on the phone or on the computer ? It's been two weeks for me now and no LABEL.

Contact some lawyers in your area, link them to the current lawsuit and see if they want to sue Huawei/Google...
Where do you come from?
Cheers...
Beyond the seemingly blatant, almost grinding halt from Huawei to process this informal recall, I would guess the repairs are backlogged in queue due to the amount of successful claims.

Thank you. I got in touch via chat and the UPS Label was received this today. I should have used the chat a long time ago.
Sorry for hijacking the thread but I'm suffering from the early shut down and have contacted Huawei who have confirmed the phone is still in warranty until end of this year and have created an RMA.
However they've sent me the envelope to post the phone back but state you need to return with the a copy of the receipt which I don't have as I purchased it from eBay. It was originally purchased from CPW and was unlocked! Can someone please confirm if Huawei accept warranty returns without the receipt?
Note... I'm in the UK and the phone was purchased from CPW in the UK.

Hi everyone. I dropped my Op8 pro and need to get a screen replacement. I filed a service claim online 3 days ago and haven't heard back by email. Calling their US phone number results in hours (no exaggerating 4+ hours yesterday) on hold with no answer.
This isn't a matter of life and death and I realize that covid has slowed things but it's a little concerning. Anyone else have luck getting a hold of OP?

When I've had to contact OnePlus in the past I've always used their Live Chat function. I know it's available here in the UK, not sure if you get the Live Chat function state side
They might not be working with the RMA requests over the weekend.
My warranty requests have been approved within a working day, and the 1 out-of-warranty request needed 4 working days to get approved. Requested on a Friday, got approved on next Wednesday. I got the shipping label and instructions minutes after the confirmation. Just wait for Monday or maybe Tuesday.

Thank you for this suggestion. I chatted with a rep and got in touch right away. I was told that I would have shipping labels sent to my inbox in 24 - 48 hours.

Great. We are within the 4 working day window for the out of warranty repair. I'm just happy that I got a hold of someone.
